Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas partner Rahul Goel, who specialises in technology, media and telecoms, as well as competition law, has resigned together with his team, which includes partner-level director Anu Monga.

Beside Goel and Monga, the team is understood to include another three lawyers.

CAM managing partner Cyril Shroff commented: “We wish him well in future.” He said Goel would be on a three-month notice period.

We could not authoritatively confirm at the time of publication where he and his team will move to.

Goel, a Delhi University graduate with an LLM in TMT laws from the University of Essex in the UK, has practised since 2001, having worked for 7 years with Seth Dua & Associates where he made partner in 2009.

In 2013, he joined Dhir & Dhir, followed by a move two years later from Dhir to CAM.

Competition law practice director Monga - also a Delhi University alumnus (2006) and a National University of Singapore LLM holder, had been in Goel’s team since joining Seth Dua in 2007, and had moved with him to Dhir and CAM.

At Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas she joined as a principal associate and was promoted to director in 2017.

Cyril Amarchand’s Delhi office has seen at least five other partner-level departures since December:

Gone are the good old days of Amarchand’s. Both CAM and SAM are bleeding clients and lawyers. It’s too big to fall but time will tell, another 5-7 years and they might be in the league of Singhania or Fox Mandal. Good luck to Rahul and team.

History is witness to the fall of great bastions because of internal gripes. History is also witness to the rebirth of great bastions only because those who matter cast aside their differences and join hands to preserve their supreme reign.

Here's hoping that AMSS will return to rule as the bastion that it once was.

C'mon bros... Hug it out. There won't be an AMSS if you don't. This CAM/SAM entry/exit drama needs to stop.

Clients will all come back and so will talent. Only if the sun rises again and bathes Peninsula and Okhla in it's light and showing all the other wannabe firms what an edifice the Amarchand name truly is.

For those who don’t know, Rahul’s team in the Delhi office has been one of the most courteous and sincere teams ever. The entire team is different in their own way and mean business. His associates reminds me of the movie 300! Hahaha(for all those who have seen them work). All the best and keep shining bright!

Avantika and Anshuman must be mighty happy with Rahul leaving and Bharat moving to Delhi. They would only hope that Bharat takes cue from Rahul’s exit and leaves CAM soon. Mission accomplished (almost!)
